I got the solenoid and put it in tonight it all works fine and the power lift motor is starting to sound better. I started it up and tried to drive it around but the vari speed is letting the belt slip. I have to figure that out.
MF 10 restoration begins!

I am done!!!! I got the Vari speed to work and I got the leak stopped on the power lift. I will try and post a video or two of it if I can figure it out. In the mean time some pictures.

He had got stuck in the ditch yesterday as we had a lot of ice down here. His boots were covered with mud so I would not let him get near it with them on.

I thought it would be interesting to break down the hours I worked on this. I had over 176 hours total and here is how it breaks down. Some day I might get brave enough to add up all the recipts to see how much I spent. I am not ready to know that yet.
Clean and sandblast, General work, Front end, 3 Point, Paint, Lift motor.
20.5 hrs..................... 62.75 hrs ........14.25 hrs... 51 hrs ..16.5 hrs ..11.5 hrs
I want to thank everyone for all their help and support on this project, it would have been a lot more difficult to do without this community of friends. I hope I can return the favor. My next project will be a 1964 Allis Chalmers B10 but it will be a straight forward restoration no narrow front or 3 point. I might wait a while for this one, my checkbook needs time to recover.

I was going to ask you to make a 3 point for mine, now that you have the prototype. But I'll be nice and wait. LOL
